INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The distance from the prison door tn the
Euillotine is not more than twenty steps
The executions take place at the dawn Of
day, and rs far rs anything being seen by
the crowd they are practically private
Only the journalists and q few privileged
ones are admitted on the square At ,
O'Clock in the morning the cavalry and in
fantry Of the Paris Municipal guard. 100
each, fifty cavalry gendarmes and about
500 policemen appear. The soldiers push
back the mob So as 10 leave the entire
square clear. Shortly afte-ward the exc
cutioner arrives in large red wagon
which contains the guillotine. The in
strument is packed in number Of cases,
each piece being numbered The aids put
it together, the work not lasting over half
an hour. When the knife is in place the
headsman tries its edge on n small bundle
Of straw to see that it slides easily and
cuts well. Just before the moment of
execution the gendarmes range themselves
in horseshoe form around the guillotine
and two rows Of policemen form a line
from the prison door 10 the instrument.
1t is through this line that the condemned
passes.-Paris Cor. The Epoch.
